India Develops First Gene-Edited Sheep

India Develops First Gene-Edited Sheep

Scientists in Kashmir have created a special sheep using a technique called gene-editing.

This sheep has bigger muscles and is healthy.

The scientists did this to help people in the area where there isn't enough meat for everyone to eat.

The sheep was made by changing a tiny part of its DNA that controls muscle growth.

This is the first time this has been done in India.

The country doesn't have rules yet for animals like this, but other countries are making rules to make sure these animals are safe.

The scientists hope that this sheep can help people have enough food to eat, even when the weather and land make it hard to grow food.
